“The author describes his first meeting with John Muir in Alaska in 1879: ‘A hearty grip of the hand, and we seemed to coalesce at once in a friendship which to me at least, has been one of the very best things in a life full of blessings. I sat at his feet; and at the feet of his spirit I still sit, a student, absorbed, surrendered, as this ’priest of nature’s inmost shrine’ unfolds to me the secrets of his ‘mountains of God.’ Dr. Young was then a young missionary stationed at Fort Wrangell in southern Alaska. This book, made up of articles first printed in the Outlook, describes two journeys of exploration and discovery taken in company with John Muir in 1879 and 1890.” -Book Review Digest, Volume 11, February, 1916
